Things change very slowly in the SE corner, the instillations tend to hang round for at least 10 years and there would be some back to back years when you’d be hard pressed to see any changes. I meant it's USP is all about the city and the scenery. It doesn't have the depth of Glasto. I was responding to someone saying it's more exciting than Glasto but the ticket buying public clearly don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brothers Bar is the massive zit on Glastonbury’s otherwise perfect skin. Lol. Thanks 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are more of a problem than NOS canisters. More difficult to dispose of/recycle (not sure if possible) and prone to causing fires in bin lorries and waste disposal plants. Should be banned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I was thinking about an actual ban, i.e. from being sold, not a Glastonbury ban, but it is being talked about. They're not the only festival that does this, as far as I can remember Shambala does so and also "legal highs", again with no mention of other illegal substances.

It does when they highlight it … if it’s just put onto the list of banned items quietly no one will take much note …. They asked for the sacred space to be respected ref NOS and things improved . Also they banned sky lanterns and you don’t see them now . The abandoned tents also much better … so if the festival asks then many people do what they ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I've heard that security at certain festivals are instructed to ignore personal drug use. It's only dealers that are likely to be targeted.

Well no, but it's sort of a double standard of "they should ban Nos" and "but not the drugs I prefer". It does suggest there's other reasons they care about it. Like I said last week, must be the sheep 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at that page the first thing on it is that they want people to bring less stuff, which doesn't seem to be working. I suspect the plea for not bringing wet wipes isn't going well either.

I would say that wet wipe use has also decreased ... last year many people around us used portable showers but again thats unmeasurable but you do have all the people who have access to the sticklinch and worthy view showers also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A LOT of people were coming past our camp to then shower next to the fence by the path........not just a few.....like at least 10 people at any given moment each morning just in front of our camp.

When I first went I think all of my group would wet wipe wash … and they are pretty useless tbh , now none of us use them … same with us the harras fence was often used by people showering .
